Jung made the distinction between the personal dream and the big dream, noting that while the personal dream helps us maintain the day-to-day psychic balance, the big dream concerns universal human problems and occurs during critical phases of life.
We will explore the images, symbols, and callings stemming from dreams that appear in response to the religious and political conflicts of our time. We will share dream experiences that help us transcend the polarities behind our alienation from nature, ourselves, and one another and that present new symbolic pathways for envisaging the divine.
